Nanmen Jinghui is a young Eastern girl with short purple hair. If you really want to know, this person is like a miniature version of Kamiraku Yuin. Because of this, I jokingly asked Kamiraku if she was her younger sister.

"Something like that, well, you could say she's my disciple now," she replied.

However, compared to Kamiraku, this person seemed to be more reserved and cautious, keeping a vigilant eye on us all the way. Fortunately, since we looked familiar with Kamiraku, she gradually calmed down.

As we made our way upstairs, Kamiraku told us about this person's background. Unlike them, this person's origins were a mystery. According to the people from the song of the Nightshade, they found this child during an exploration, lying next to the body of an old woman who had died on the roadside.

The leader of the Nightshade song saw that no one was around and figured she might have fled here, so he brought her back to the group. They didn't need to bother naming her, as the name Nanmen Jinghui was already embroidered on the cloth wrapped around her.

Later on, the folks from the Nightshade Song grew fond of this child and raised her as one of their own, even sending people to investigate her background.

However, the Nanmen family had too many branches on this continent, and it was unclear which branch she came from, so it was decided to postpone this matter until Jinghui came of age to decide for herself.

As fate would have it, not long after Kamiraku arrived at the Nightshade Song, she met Jinghui, who had been following her ever since. Kamiraku, in her elder sisterly spirit, took Jinghui as her disciple, treating her like a younger sister.

I can imagine the outcry of those lolicons in the Nightshade Song. Following Kamiraku, it would be impossible to take advantage of Jinghui.

On the other hand, Kuroe initially wasn't part of this operation with just Kamiraku and Jinghui, but Kuroe was bored at the academy, so after causing some trouble, she got expelled and coincidentally joined this operation at the Nightshade Song.

Upstairs, there were indeed fewer people. Although everyone had been running away just a moment ago, upon seeing no immediate danger, the fleeing frenzy turned into a curiosity to watch. A group of people began rushing towards the direction of the accident, and in the distance, several squads of Aquatic Tribe guards and accident response teams could be seen rushing to the scene.

We found a beverage shop to sit down, and the shopkeeper had already run to the window to watch the commotion from afar, so we started chatting freely.

"So, tell us, what made you all descend from the sky in such a reckless manner?"

Some of us spoke more, some less, but we ended up filling up the tables and chairs beside the shop, with fourteen people all gathered like a meeting.

"Let's start with what happened a few days ago."

"Is it related to the war between the Dragon clan and the Elven clan?" Taishi Xi chimed in as soon as Kamiraku finished speaking.

Kamiraku nodded and continued.

"Yes, it was during that time when the Dragon clan invited the human rulers for a meeting that it turned into a war between the Dragon and Elven clans. But the problem didn't start there. During the meeting, the ruler of the Kingdom of West Jin, King West Jin, was killed directly in the Dragon clan's attack, throwing the Kingdom of West Jin into chaos."

"It turns out it was back then," I nodded. If it weren't for some capable rulers of the human race at the time, they would have long died in the aftermath of the Dragon Clan Chief's attack. It seems that the Western Jin Public State didn't have any impressive experts to boast of, so they valiantly sacrificed their lives for the cause of human development.

"However, the Western Jin Public State is also where our Nightingale Song Guild, the largest guild of our Assassins' Guild, is located. Although our guild is infamous for killing, we also operate as a legitimate mercenary guild on the surface. Under the proposal of our leader, we..."

"Directly took control of the country?" The tone of Hei Luoli next to me sounded as if she had seen a ghost, and indeed, her expression confirmed this for me.

"Not exactly direct control, but we used all our strength to stabilize the chaotic internal situation in the country. After all, the Western Jin Public State is just one big city and three small cities, and we quickly stabilized things," explained Kamiraku, then shrugged.

"I'll explain the rest, Kamiraku looks pretty tired," Kuroe next to me said. "Next up...it's probably similar to what you encountered. The Aquatic Tribe started invading the Western Jin Public State, forcing us to evacuate the residents of the small city closest to the sea to the main city. We then used the small city as a base to defend against the Aquatic Tribe."

"It seems things are moving faster on your end. The Aquatic Tribe on our side has only just started causing trouble," Hei Luoli said.

"Probably the Aquatic Tribe will stick to soft targets," Kuroe added.

"However, although the Western Jin Public State isn't very strong, our leader is not one who seeks peace. While reorganizing the original forces of the Western Jin Public State, we also initiated a counterattack plan. The Western Jin Public State originally had several ships, then bought a few more, and through harsh interrogation, made the Aquatic Tribe reveal the way to their city. After careful consideration, we decided to load each ship with an Aquatic Tribe member and target the location of the city. We then dropped iron poles directly above the city to attack the Aquatic Tribe city."

"Hey, hey, you guys are really daring," I looked at Kamiraku and said.

"Don't you worry that the currents will sweep you off course and leave you buried at the bottom of the sea forever?"

"Well...maybe a little swimming down there could work," Kamiraku chuckled.

"Ah...never mind, anyway, the fact that you made it down there means you're lucky. But why did only three of you come down?" I continued to ask.

"Our first goal was to find a way to teleport directly from the underwater city to the land. This way, once the passage is opened, our people can directly reach the Aquatic Tribe's city. Second, if we can't find a way, we'll go for extensive destruction. After all, the Aquatic Tribe has caused suffering to our kind, and we can't let them live in peace."

Although it sounded very rogue and reckless, it struck a chord with me. Are you Aquatic Tribe trying to invade the human world because you think you're so powerful? Well, you better watch out for us humans sneaking up on you from behind.

"Well, we shouldn't waste any time, it's better to act quickly. After all, your companions should still be up there pinpointing the target; evacuating now must not be complete. When those Aquatic Tribe members go up and find your companions, apart from their danger, your invasion plan will surely be exposed, and that won't end well."

"Of course," Kuroe gave a wicked smile, then spoke.

"Watch this."

After that, she approached the shopkeeper who was still watching the commotion.

The shopkeeper had a crab shell on his back, but the rest of his body looked human. When Kuroe walked over, her voice underwent a 180-degree change, asking in a very awkward tone.

"Um... can I ask a question?"

"Huh?"

The shopkeeper turned his head directly from watching the commotion and was stunned by Kuroe's expression for a long while.

"Um..."

"Oh, sorry, what did you ask just now?"

"Well, my friend and I just arrived in this city for sightseeing, but we got separated from our guide during the recent accident. So, could you please tell us how to get to places like teleportation gates?"

"Oh, that's easy, just go to that tall building over there."

The shopkeeper pointed decisively to a pyramid-like building in the distance.

Ah, the plan is on track.

Ah, women are truly terrifying.
